A lengthy welcome
Hi MiguelR26. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Sasha Johnson
Hi! Congrats on beating me to the creation of Sasha Johnson by less than a minute. :) You used a couple of sources that are not good, The S*n and the New York Post. Check out WP:RSP to see some common sources and their reliability or lack thereof. Additionally, I'm not convinced by the Turning Point UK-published The Point News. Birmingham Live was fine but I've left it out because it doesn't contain any information not in the BBC, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph etc. and those are more reliable sources. Thanks for the creation—take a look at what I've written over it and you're welcome to make improvements. I've listed this article at WikiProject Black Lives Matter's 2021 April–June drive (hope you don't mind), and you're welcome to join the project if you're interested. If you've got any questions, I'm watching this talk page for a week and you can always bring anything to my attention at my talk page. Thanks! — Bilorv ( talk ) 08:08, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bilorv! I couldn't figure out how you changed the article so quickly! Now I see that you were just about to publish yours. When I started reading articles about the recent news about Johnson, I was really surprised there wasn't an article already. I appreciate the various points you've addressed here - I always forget which sources are fine to use and which are problematic. Thanks for adding so much to the small article I started!

 * No problem. I thought the same thing as you when seeing the news, but one thing I tried to emphasise in my research was finding articles from before the shooting, as something based on one event only is often deleted after discussion by the community about whether it fails WP:NOTNEWS or WP:BLP1E. (I'm still half-expecting a deletion discussion so we'll see.) — Bilorv ( talk ) 08:25, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
